The reading group aims to bring together scholars from different departments to explore the themes addressed in the Effron Center's Asian American Studies (ASA) lecture series.

Unlike the Effron series, which is targeted at the university community, this reading group is intended to be a space for Princeton graduate students and faculty. We will meet before or after each ASA lecture over a meal to discuss the relevant texts. 

Given the interdisciplinary nature of Asian American studies, the group invites participants from various disciplinary backgrounds and endeavors to provide accessible and thought-provoking readings open to all.
